The title compound, [Cd(NCS)(2)(C(14)H(14)N(2))(2)], features crystallographic inversion symmetry with the Cd(II) ion located on a centre of inversion. The Cd(II) ion is six-coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry with the thiocyanate anions in axial positions. The angle between the benzene and pyridine rings is 69.64 (9)°. An inter-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bond stabilizes the crystal structure.
